Volvió una noche [English translation]

She came back one night, I wasn't expecting her,

There was so much worry on her face

that I was scared to remember

her felony & cruelty.

She said to me humbly, "Oh, if you'll forgive me,

the (good) old times will come back.

The Springtime of our life, (Halcyon Days?)

you will see that everyone will smile at us".

[Chorus]:

Lies, lies, I wanted to tell her,

the hours pass but never return.

And so my love entwined with yours

is only a fantasy of a bygone time

that can't be revived.

I hid my bitterness & I took pity.

Her big blue eyes opened (wide),

they understood my unheard pain

& with the grimace of a defeated woman

said to me: "So be it". And I never saw her again.

She came back one night, I will never forget it,

with a sad & sombre look

that I was scared of that spectre

who drove me crazy in my youth.

She left in silence, without a word of reproach,

I looked for a mirror & I wanted to look at myself.

There were so many winters on my forehead

but she also had pity.
